Father of William R. Robinson, Anna Robinson Musgrave, Olive Robinson Musgrave, Isaac W. Robinson, Berry Robinson, Pleasant Robinson, and Alexander Robinson all buried here and John, Mary Polly and Nancy unknown burial places.

The following is from Old Settlers Gazette - 2007:

James and Sarah Robinson were married before 1798, probably in North Carolina. At some point in the early 1800s, they moved to Tennessee. They were the eldest members of the Robinson family to emigrate from Tennessee to Missouri. Not found in 1830 Missouri census schedules, they are, however, listed in the 1840 census for Pulaski County and James Robinson lived in the Cookville, MO area at the time of his death in 1857. The excavation site of 23PU757 is just south of the former town of Cookville, on the east side of Roubidoux Creek. James and Sarah Robinson were the parents of ten children: Alexander, Anna, John, Polly, Nancy, Olive, William R., Pleasant, Berry, and Isaac. At least five of the children can be positively identified as living in Pulaski County in the first half of the 19th century, but others may have lived here as well. Isaac, the youngest child of James and Sarah Robinson, born in 1820, would ultimately come into possession of the site property.
